Namco Bandai had a couple of announcements that should make all Dark Souls fans happy. First is that the extra content that will be available to PC users when Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition the game is released this August and will be made available to console fans later this year. The content Artorias of the Abyss adds:

The extra DLC will be available in North America sometime this winter for 1200 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 or $15 (US) on the PS3. The PC version Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will be available on August 24 in North America and a retail version of the game will be released the same day in Europe. The other big news is that PC users will be happy to know that Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will be released on Steam as well as Games for Windows.
